I-95 Battle Flag Memorial Donations: 22nd Va Infantry

MANY of the contributions towards the I-95 Battle Flag project are coming in with designations to honor the donors' ancestors. We are thrilled to receive this information, as it adds an even more personal connection to the memorial...

Tonight we are recognizing the donation to the I-95 Battle Flag Project by Terry Mccallister﻿, of WV, in memory and honor of:

Pvt. William H. Tucker Co A, 22nd Va Inf.

The unit was led by Col. George S. Patton III, (pictured), a graduate of the VMI Class of 1852, and grandfather of the George S. Patton of WWII fame.

WHO ARE THE VA FLAGGERS?

We are citizens of the Commonwealth who stand AGAINST those who would desecrate our Confederate Monuments and memorials, and FOR our Confederate Veterans.

The Virginia Flaggers were organized on September 5, 2011. What began with just a few dedicated Southerners, has now grown to include hundreds of people, from all over the country, who have joined us in defending the honor of the Confederate Veteran, protesting Heritage violations, and forwarding the colors in Richmond, and Virginia… and beyond!

When needed, flaggers stand with our flags against those in opposition in a peaceful, yet forceful manner, to educate and inform the general public, and in open and visible protest against those who have attacked us, our flags, our ancestors, or our Heritage.

Flaggers speak for those who have no voice. We relay a message of Honor, Dignity, Respect, and Heritage to those who never knew, or to those who have forgotten, and to attempt to reach those who refuse to hear.

Our weapon is the Confederate Battle Flag. Our enemies are those who worship ignorance, historical revisionism and Political Correctness.

We take pride in taking a stand for the Cause. For this Cause, we call others to flock to the banner of our ancestors, take up their flags, and join us in battle, for OUR TIME IS NOW.

The Va Flaggers reject any person or group whose actions tarnish or bring dishonor upon the Confederate soldier or his reason for fighting, including those groups and persons using our cherished flag as a symbol for their own dishonorable purposes.
